LA teams such as the Lakers and Clippers band together to donate more than $8 million for wildfire victims and first responders

While the greater LA area has been absolutely devastated by the wildfires that wreaked havoc on the region, one thing that has been repeatedly expressed is how the community plans to build back together.

Despite the loss of communities, the people that make up the communities that were destroyed have continued to be there for one another during this difficult time. Additionally, international support has come in from Mexico and Canada as first responders in the LA area work to extinguish the fires.

In support of the communities impacted, all 12 LA-based professional sports teams have banded together to donate more than $8 million to support both victims and first responders.

The teams are: Angel City FC, Angels (MLB), Chargers (NFL), Clippers (NBA), Dodgers (MLB), Ducks (NHL), Galaxy (MLS), Kings (NHL), LAFC (MLS), Lakers (NBA), Rams (NFL),and Sparks (WNBA).

The various teams announced the initiatives on social media earlier in the week, with the money set to be dispersed through organizations like the American Red Cross and Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, as well as food kitchens feeding those in need, and the first responders.
